readx;? Leo was the first to stand up and walk towards the portal, taking a quiet breath to soothe his emotions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's impossible not to be nervous at this point, but he knows very well that he must not pass on any negative emotions to his teammates.

Fortunately, if Saunders or Sieberton had felt his nervousness, he might have been even more nervous immediately, and there could have been a serious malfunction in the future.

Looking at Leo's determined back, Sanders, who had already begun to tremble a little, really calmed down and followed with Seaberton.

Immediately after, Laiya's crisp and pleasant voice sounded: "Come on!"

Listening to such a voice, the two boys instantly felt full of power!

............

Behind the portal, the same room was the same as before, but the original single chairs had been removed and replaced with two large test tables.

The moment he saw the test table, Leo's eyes lit up.

With his fairly good knowledge in magic potions, he could certainly see that the quality of the experimental bench was excellent, even better than all the experimental benches he had ever seen.

The silvery-white test bench is clearly Mithril-plated, five meters long and three meters wide, with several distinct areas, namely an absolutely flat writing and cutting area, a fluctuation control area with a special magic array, and a mixed manufacturing area with many tools.

Just the design and materials can be seen that the value of the laboratory table is not trivial, and the dragon-shaped emblem left in the corner, Leo has never even seen it, and it obviously belongs to a very, very high-end brand.

He didn't have much time to salivate on the test bench, and the referee had already spoken: "The second event of the first round of the knockout round, the magic skill application competition will start immediately." Now please take your seats, you have two minutes to prepare. ”

Hearing the referee's voice, Leo noticed that the people from the Faro Court Academy of Magic had arrived.

As expected, the opponent's appearance was indeed the captain Samian, the girl Benilla and the boy who had thoughts about Benilla.

However, Leo soon found that after half an hour, the conflict between them seemed to have subsided temporarily.

At the moment, Benilla was next to Sammy, talking in a low voice, and seemed quite harmonious.

According to Leo's previous conjecture, the score gap in the first game is so large that normal words are likely to complain about each other and deepen the rift between them. Judging by the current situation, the opponent seems to have found a solution to the problem.

"The opponent who can break into the semi-finals is really not easy. Leo was secretly alarmed, did not talk to his two teammates, and waited patiently for the game to begin.

Two minutes passed quickly, and the referee immediately said, "Now I will announce the title of the second competition, please listen to the players." ”

"As a mage, it is obviously not enough to just concentrate on research, and many times we have to see it with our own eyes and experience it ourselves to get the closest answer to the truth. So what is it that will sustain us to do this? Undoubtedly, combat effectiveness!"

As soon as the referee spoke, the six contestants present were stunned.

Isn't it a competition of academic ability? Why did the referee sigh with emotion? Or does it involve combat effectiveness, could it be that Lordaeron has temporarily changed the rules of the game?

The referee ignored everyone and continued to himself: "Looking at the entire history of magic, it is not difficult to find that whenever the world changes drastically, there are serious conflicts and confrontations, especially large-scale wars, the development of magic will enter a peak. It is not difficult to see that it is these crises that promote magic, and the most important point is that we rely on magic to develop more powerful combat power!"

"For what? Obviously to survive! Only by living can magic be meaningful, truth be meaningful, everything we seek be meaningful. So what is it that guarantees combat effectiveness?" the referee suddenly asked another question, regardless of who he obviously didn't need to answer.

"Combat power is not only about the knowledge we have, but also about everything we have! magic potions, magic equipment, scrolls, and so on!"

This time, the referee paused for a moment, then continued, "Now, as a mage, I have an academic idea, but I have to go to the abyss to explore. Please make use of the materials you already have and make as many items as you can that are conducive to exploration. At the end of the three-hour competition, the jury will score the crafted items of the two teams based on the increase in combat power in the Abyss. ”

"......" not only Leo, but almost everyone was completely speechless. Everyone really can't understand why there is a problem, why should a game that doesn't seem to be special have such a long foreshadowing.

As the question was given, two staff members walked in, each carrying a large magic box with magic.

They had obviously accepted the arrangement a long time ago, and they were familiar with placing the magic sealing boxes on the experimental tables of the two teams.

When all this was done, the referee spoke again: "Listen to my command, prepare, three, two, one! The game starts, the timer!"

After receiving the order, Leo reacted the fastest, and stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to open the sealing box.

However, as soon as they made contact, a wave came, and then the box emitted a scorching heat, forcing Leo's hand back.

"It's ......" Leo suddenly realized that the level had been set up at the beginning of the game, and the first level was obviously opening the box.

"Here!" Sieberton pointed to a certain part of the back of the box, his awareness rather keen.

It was a metal plate that was different from the whole thing, and it was constantly flashing with various colors, and it looked like a special mechanism at first glance.

"Be quiet!" Sanders complained dissatisfiedly, and his eyes drifted to the ** academy, obviously not wanting the opponent to steal his team's discovery.

Sieberton noticed this and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

Next to the two, Leo didn't pay much attention to this, his attention was completely focused on the fast metal plate.

"Professor, analyze the flickering trajectory and look for patterns. An order was issued.

After just a few breaths, the professor responded: "Andure matrix, does it calculate the overall structure?"

............

A minute later, under the bewildered gazes of Seaberton and Sanders, Leo's finger lightly tapped against the metal plate.

"Click!" came out with a crisp metallic mechanical sound.

"It's done?" Sanders asked in surprise.

"It should have been. Leo nodded, holding out his hand again.

This time he didn't feel the heat again, and the lid opened, revealing the accumulation of magical materials inside.

More than ten meters away, several people from the Faro Academy were stunned, and at this time they hadn't even figured out what the metal plate was used for. (To be continued.) )
